SUMMARY
The study - The Geography of Youth Unemployment: a Route Map for Change - combines local authority data to analyse "travel to work" areas - self-contained areas where 70 per cent of those who live there also work in the area. In this way the Coventry "travel to work" area would combine information from Bedford, Coventry and Nuneaton. The study authors define unemployed young people as those 16- to 24-year-olds who have been looking for work in the past four weeks and are available to start work in the next two weeks. Students were excluded from the study, which draws its data from the 2012/13 Annual Population Study.
